Not much surprising, though. The US and their minions. Full stat for a bigger picture: 148 in favor, 4 against, 27 abstained. It's like 4 against the world.

  The U.S. delegation did get the right to privacy text watered down (and argued that there is no internationally recognized human right to privacy!), but the text still expresses serious concerns over mass surveillance. The 148-4 vote is not on the right to privacy, but on a different text about the "right to development". The U.S. delegation actually voted in favor of the right-to-privacy text. If you search this transcript for "The Committee then", you can see that they had many different work items considered at this meeting, not just the privacy item.
